Abstract: Research Highlights [black right pointing pointer] This paper presents a time-variant estimation of technical efficiency in post-reform China. [black right pointing pointer] A fully nonparametric stochastic model is used to measure technical efficiency. [black right pointing pointer] The average technical efficiency has declined in the mid-1980s but increased since 1992. [black right pointing pointer] Eastern and Southern regions show a higher than national average level of technical efficiency.
